Righto everyone, I was thinking of organising a BBQ at my place. But then I realised that my place is way too small and that I can't be bothered cleaning up afterwards.

So I figured I'd just organise it out at Spencer Park instead. Plenty of room and all I'll have to do is pay for the gas.

Bring along the family. Bring along your friends. Bring anyone who's interested in talking bikes for a couple of hours.

Keep your fingers crossed for some good weather and lets have a great afternoon.

Lets all meet up there at 12. Start cooking at 1.

BYO meat seat and drink.

Looks like we might have to book:

From their website: (http://www.ccc.govt.nz/cityleisure/parkswalkways/popularparks/spencerpark.aspx)
"For organised groups or picnic bookings contact the Customer Call Centre, phone (03) 941 8888."

Would that mean us?

Not sure that I can get along but if someone is able to get to my work, I could probably supply quite a few free sausages for you all.

Best bet would be to email me or txt

swederell@kol.co.nz 0212591682

:eek5:Free Snarlas?

Mate that would be awesome!:woohoo: I will txt you tomorrow!:woohoo:

Being that it is a three day weekend, I was contemplating a ride to the coast and stopping at random locations and making the most of the time off to put some k's on the bike. If weather dosn't allow me to do that I"ll certainly head out on Sunday and talk bikes with ya'all.:confused:

Look forward to seeing you all there :yes:

(Great idea Gareth!!...bringing a chocy fish along for you!)

Will bring the family (Wee Ryder will love all the bikes!)...and enough sausages etc to share around (will even bring the tommy sauce!)

...now, wheres my Friz bee and cricket set?

ps:We just came back from the hospital...had our second scan!...were having a baby Girl this time around :woohoo: (that gives us the whole package!)
thinking of the name Willow...but all ideas welcome

-Willy, Charlotte and Wee Ryder (Will be leaving the crazy dog at home...much to Peeteeys relief!:laugh:)

I also rang whoever it was I was supposed to ring and have booked us in for area number 2. Not sure where that is but the choice was number 2 or number 4 and the lady on the phone made 2 sound a lot better.

Unfortunately it doesn't have a BBQ there so I'm gonna have to try and get one there. I don't own a car but a friend of mine who is going does and I'll hopefully be able to convince him to bring one. If he doesn't come through, does anyone else have one they can bring along? Also if enough people turn up 2 BBQ's maybe better than 1.

Woo hoo! Well done you two! That's very exciting and I guess now we know what you guys have been up to to keep you away from the rides ;)

:lol: Notice I didn't say anything of the sort in my email to you! I have no issue with your lovely dog even though my jugular seemed to be on the menu. "Strange man in my house" = great nashings of teeth etc, fair call I say, that's what I would do :D

Will be good to see you all!

Yip. It's overcast out here in Rangiora but it's reasonably warm. Forecast is for 20 degrees, cloudy, chance of morning drizzle. We should be alright.
